BEACH HOUSE AND CUPITT'S WINERY

 BEACH HOUSE AND CUPITT'S WINERY!

Looking north from our beach house deck.

Looking back at the front door from the living room.

Sorry everyone... this is going to be a long post but we've had such a great day and I wanted to share it with you !   Our friend Brian from South Africa, is visiting .  We woke up this morning on the farm to 144mm of rain , so we decided to go out for the day.  We have a beach house at Mollymook, on the South Coast of NSW -  3 hours from Sydney.  We wanted to show Brian the house, (see photos above ) and as it was raining there as well,  we decided to go on to Cupitt's Winery for lunch.  Cupitt's,  is just outside Mollymook, sitting prettily on top of a green hill out in the countryside !  

Love the old stone walls and gate post at the entrance 

Gorgeous old stone building

The outside stone oven which the chef uses every day !

 Lunch was superb !!  World-class food in the countryside of NSW, Australia !! Rosie and Griff Cupitt happened to be there for lunch as well !  Big plans are underfoot for new developments at Cupitt's and read more about them here .  Did you know that they also have accommodation at Cupitt's ?

My beautiful starter - Cured Petuna Ocean Trout on warm Kipflers with Rocket, Mustard and Dill

Michael's starter - grilled Calamari with Lime mayonnaise !

Michael and my main course - grilled Snapper with a tender, seared Scallop with Celeriac Remoulade

Brian had pan-fried Cone Bay Barramundi on Orzo Pasta, Mussels and a light curry Nage.

Delicious greens !

The "piece de resistance"....the Chocolate Fondant with Armagnac and Prune  ice- cream !!

Rosie introduced me to the Pastry Chef - Emma Kate seen here holding her delicious Chocolate Fondant !!

 

Spotless kitchen and everyone terribly busy !

Muddy boots outside the wine-tasting room 

Beautiful autumn vines .

Then it was back to South Acres, only 1hr 30 mins drive.  We arrived home to a blanket of mist, enveloping the farm, drifting slowly back and forth. 

Welcome to South Acres Farm

The Tea House

Ever so curious !

Grapefruits ripening!

The eerie silhouette of a dead tree in the paddock.

Always good to get home..
